I would be a bit careful with using map in solid's jsx (irl and in ur educational videos). Since there is no vdom, jsx translates directly to createElement-calls. so with your example it would re-create the html and remount all the components inside ur map-callback everytime 'members' change. That's the reason why there are control flow components like and in solid.

I've never known what a meta framework is. I appreciate how you put it plainly.

While react is technically good, I would love to see other frameworks gaining popularity as they are shipping less js and they are going for improved developer experience.

It seems slowly solid will overtake react. I think it lacks support with libraries such as material ui, but once that is achieved i would say it will be no.1

[@LetrixAR]

You conviced me. I'm gonna give Solid a try.

[@lutfiikbalmajid]

Started to loved solid, when someone in twitter give performance review.

👏🏻

[@ibrahimmohammed3484]

honestly i wanted to try it seriously but svelte seems to be much more simpler and cleaner code

[@TheSaintsVEVO]

Nice video. One major annoyance though - don’t keep changing the code on screen as you’re explaining it, as it makes it much harder to follow

[@adimardev1550]

i'd love solid and svelte personlay, however i have to force my self to stay in react for obvios reason. i really wish solid will replace reactjs someday.

[@jhsloz3160]

I'm really enjoying your solid videos, but would really appreciate timestamps

[@pra9shinde]

Hi bro, please do a performance comparison video on solid vs qwik.

[@greendsnow]

Why bother. Svelte is 3KB and improves your life.

If they only dropped the terrible functional approach this would be a better preforming version of knockout js. MVU is just a bad pattern hard to deal with it redux helps but having one gigantic state is so hard to work with and requires so much boilerplate code and dealing with immutable references is hard.

Another framework? Considering all frameworks copy each other what's the point in switching once again. Just stick with the framework that uses terminology and syntax that fits your mind. Performance benchmarks are negligible facts in my book , cause if your app approaches benchmark level of workloads you're doing something very very wrong.

Very bad, very hard to a newbie to follow...
